Today’s card is just so cute! I love the retired Party Pandas stamp set to make adorable birthday cards. I wanted to steer away from the frilly and feminine so I pulled out Lemon Lime Twist and Bermuda Bay. I love this bright combination.

Today’s card has been approved by Arthur. He told me that this one was his favorite of all the cards I’ve made so far. He just loves the Party Pandas. And I agree that it’s such a fun stamp set! I had to featured this retired Sale-a-Bration set today. I coordinated my panda with a few patterns from the Animal Expedition DSP pack. The design is another example from our demonstrator magazine that I modified.

Today’s cards were half of the featured Make N Takes at my Spring Bingo event. Each Bingo participant received a goody bag with four variously colored cardstock bases, six 6x6 pieces of Naturally Eclectic DSP, two yards of Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon, a strip of White Accents, and four metallic doilies. From those supplies, the ladies made two cards at the Bingo event leaving plenty of supplies to take home and use later. For inspiration, I made four different cards using the same supplies.
And here's what all the ladies at Bingo made from the supplies. Love the variety of designs and combinations!
Today’s card is being featured at my Coloring Class in late March and April. (Check out the Crafty Events on the homepage for full details.) I love playing with Brusho and knew I had to create this awesome Brusho triptych card after seeing a similar one on Pinterest. (Unfortunately the image had a dead link attached otherwise I would link to it.) I simply sprinkled on blue, red, and yellow Brusho Crystals to pieces of Petal Passion DSP, spritzed with water, added more crystals, spritzed, and finally let dry. When using Stampin' Up!'s DSP paper with Brusho, be careful! The paper is fairly thin and too much water can ruin it. I applied a little bit of water at a time to reach the desired effect.
How about a trio of cute pandas for today? At first, I wasn't drawn to these pandas as my SAB pick, but then I saw all the amazing cards others made. I knew I had to get them. And since then, I have made some great cards. This one is simple, but striking. The pandas are framed by this piece fo fun DSP from the Tutti-Frutti pack. After adding the pandas on, I decided to leave off other embellishments to focus on the paper.
As soon as I saw the Sale-a-Bration brochure, I had to have the Party Pandas stamp set! It's just so incredibly cute. I decided to play with circles and stripes for the design of the card. I embossed a piece of Whisper White paper with the Polka Dot embossing folder and repeated those dots in the DSP and the die cut shapes. For contrast I chose of piece of striped DSP as a background layer. After stamping and coloring my panda, I added some fun bright sequins. I love how the panda is juggling the sequins.
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Valentine. I don't send out a lot of Valentines, but we do usually have an exchange with the kiddos. Keeping in mind that these were going to be for kids, I decided on the cute Party Panda stamp set as my focal point. From there, I just added a few cute layers and some fun heart paper.
